Mysterious Ailments-Bright's Disease.
A Foreign Invention.
"A mysterious dispensation of Providence
truly" remarked lady, returning from the
funeral Of third victim to diphtheria, in one
and the same house. "Humph,n replied her
companion, providence indeedl Mr.. Blanks
cellar is full Of rotting potatoes!"
When epidemics Of diphtheria and the like
break out in cities, they arc usually attributed
to faulty sewerage, bad conditions of tene-
ments, etc. When occurring in the country
tho supposed abode Of pure air and pure
water-their origin is to great many minds
mysterious" "Mr Blanks potatoes, how
ever, would account for a good many cases.
In addition to this cause might DO mentioned
the contamination of the water supply by
bad relation of tho well to tho cess pool and
other excavations; or oven its contamination
from surface drainage. Toward the end of
tho winter we are accustomed to hear Of the
ravages Of diphthcria in isolated households,
In country neighborhoods and in villages It
Is then that the filth that has been frozen up
oil winter Is put into solution and carried by
heavy rains into tho well or tho neighboring
stream from which water for household use is
drawn-the pure, limpid brook Of the poets.
From such q well or brook people fill their
systems with the germs of disease Ignorance
or disregard of sanitary precautions is too
often the mysterious something" that brings
sudden sickness and death to households

Bismarck Grinding an Organ.

In Berlin recently there was a birthday
party in honor Of the eldest son of Prince
William, eldest son OF the crown prince
Among the presents was small barrel
organ from Prince Bismarck. A fow day,
later the 5-year-old heir Of tho imperial
throne complained to Prince Bismarck that
1t tired him very much to play tho organ,
and asked him to play something. Tho
chancellor complied, and at once began turn.
ing the handle, and with so much energy
that the sounds of the instrument drew the
other members Of the imperial family to tho
room. The children, delighted, began to
dance. Thereupon Prince William, looking
at his eldest son, observed to the chancellor,
"There Is a future emperor who already
dances to your piping. New York Tribune.

Brlght's Disease.

In an article referring to Bright's disease,
Semmola, Of Naples, emphasizes the remark
able sensibility of the skin of sufferers from
this trouble to variations of temperature
Such patients are exceedingly sensitive to
cold, and he would not allow them to come in
contact with it in any proventable way. Vio-
lent massage and muscular exercise he disap-
proves of, as well as of cold baths. Each
produces too great shock and depression. The
hygienic treatment advised is to live in q dry
and equablc climate. to entirely avoid ex-
posture or going out in severely cold weather,
and, rather than venture out for exercise into
temperature below IS or 20 degs, c., to prac-
tice mild indoor gymnastics.

FOR THE HOT SEASON.
A Machine Which Turns Out q Glass Of
Soda for a Tenth OF Cent.

A Machine Which Turns Out q Glass OF
Soda for Tenth OF a Cent.
A portable apparatus has recently been
constructed by which soda water can DO re-
duced i'll cost from twelve cents to three cents
gallon. 1t has three cylinders, respectively
for gas, water and prepared soda water. The
gas cylinder, which holds twenty two pounds
Of liquefed carbonic acid, is narrow, but
enormously strong, being capable of resisting
a pressure of zoe pounds to tho square inch
without bursting When empty it can be
taken apart from the rest of tho machine and
recharged where the carbonic acid gas is con.
densed. Charged cylinders may also DO OBJ
tanned from the natural gas wells on the
banks of the Rhine In Europe. The middle
cylinder is made like ON ordinary hot water
reservoir and holds about sixty gallons Of
Croton water. It withstands q pressure of
$50 pounds to the square inch. The third
cylinder Is simply an ordinary soda water
drum, such as may be seen about stores
where aerated waters are sold on draught.
The process Of liquefying or solidifying car
bonic acid gas is becoming an important in
dustry. Many volumes Of tho gas are
pumped into a small chamber, which is kept
under freezing mixture, until condensation
and liquefaction is produced. Until lately it
has been used chiefly for adding gas to lager
beer and for causing intense cold in the
laboratory; but fresh uses are being con-
stantly found for 1t.
Chemists who manufacture their own soda
water prepare this gas from marble dust,
which is carbonate Of lime, and sulphuric
acid. The gas Is then forced under pressure
into cylinder containing water, which is
then rolled about until the gas and water are

water constitutes the soda water Of CON-
merce. Many chemists have abandoned this
process, and get their soda water ready made
from the wholesale manufacturer.
By the new process q cylinder of liuuefied
carbonic acid gas is capable Of turning out $50
gallons of soda water. The gas passes from
the first cylinder into small chamber where
the pressure which is required for the re-
mainder Of the manufacture is regulated It
Is about seventy-flve pounds to the square
inch. The gas Is then divided into two
streams; one being admitted into the top of
the second or water cylinder, while the other
passes into chamber through several in
jectors. pipe runs from the bottom of the
water cylinder to this chamber, and as the
gas rrshes through the fine nozzles Of the IN
1ectors 1t draws the water with it past q valve.
The gas and water are by this time mixed.

Alleged Cure for Pulmonary Trouble.

Alleged Cure for Pulmonary Trouble.
An apparatus to enablea person to breathe
tho outside air while sitting indoors in a
warm room is credited to foreign invention.
1t consists of simple tube communicating
through the window with the external air.
At one end of it an attachment to fit over the
mouth and nose Is placed. The inventor
claims that tubercle bacilli are destroyed by
low temperature, and therefore pulmonary
phthisis ma DO cured by breathing freely
air through this apparatus.

quic, Assistant Civil Engineer, has
0een here for some days, with the

to teTmine the manner and extent
OF the work to be done.
The object, OF course, is to do
work that will be of a permanent
nature, and as extensive and thor
ough as the available means will
permit.
Mr.. Boudousquie states that he
finds a very hard and tenacious soil
at the bottom of the channel, aud
thinks that by the use OF breakwa.
ters and other means to prevent
the diversions of the main channel
the river could be made to scour
its chanHel much more effectually.
He will make Investigations of soils

more accurately what eau be accom-
plished.
As soon AS the survey is complet-
ed 1t will be forwarded to Washing
ton, when the contract for doing
the work will be let out to the low
est and best bidder, and hence we
presume the work will be begun IN
the near future.
While the $4,000 appropriated
will not be sufficient TO complete
the work and secure a depth of

varied in price, except in conformi-
ty with Surrounding circumstances,
and these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
